FootyMAD's Queens Park Rangers match preview

Barnsley are ready to welcome Queens Park Rangers to Oakwell on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The Tykes are clearly on top, having won 11 and lost only 3 of the 19 games.

The previous match played between the two at Oakwell was within the last three years, in April 2004, when they fought out a thrilling high-scoring 3-3 draw in a League Division Two match.
